How to Increase IT Efficiency and Business Effectiveness: Implementing a Risk-Based Approach to Ensuring Application Quality
When it comes down to it, there’s simply less room for error in today’s world—especially when it comes to testing and deploying business-critical applications. Risk-based testing allows you to get a better handle on what to test and prioritize it based on how important it is to the business. This paper outlines the benefits of a risk-based testing approach and introduces QACenter Enterprise Edition, a testing solution designed to automate and facilitate risk-based testing and provide a repeatable framework for IT organizations to do better with less.
Better Coordination Between Tools and Testing Improves Application Value and Performance
Producing a quality assurance benefit from automated root-cause analysis engines that are coordinated deeply with development studios will eliminate many of the performance problems before they affect the bottom line. Compuware's DevPartner and QACenter Performance Edition offer an example of assembling a coordinated means to better application quality.
Managing Offshore Development and Maintenance Projects
Any potential for offshore savings can erode quickly, unless companies assess the risk and focus on tightening project management processes first. If not, companies stand to lose time, quality, productivity or money. Consider the fact of hidden costs. CIO Magazine illustrates the point in its September 2003 issue. Based on research from Meta Group, Gartner and Renodis, CIO Magazine sited that extra costs resulting from such factors as transition costs and productivity lags can amount to anywhere from 15.2 to 57 percent of the total price tag for the offshore services. Companies, however, can significantly minimize risks and costs associated with offshore outsourcing by implementing both sound project management processes and appropriate tools. Learn how you can significantly minimize the risks and costs associated with offshore outsourcing.
